MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Tyreke Evans made a reverse layup around Andrew Bogut with 0.9 seconds left, lifting the Sacramento Kings to a 96-95 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in a game that featured the NBA's top two rookies.



Bogut's baseline jumper hit the side of the backboard as time expired, allowing Sacramento to improve to 2-11 on the road.


Evans scored a game-high 24 points to top Milwaukee rookie Brandon Jennings, who had 15 points, nine assists and six rebounds.


Jennings found Ersan Ilyasova under the basket for an easy basket with 5 seconds left, giving the Bucks a 95-94 lead. But Evans took an inbounds pass, drove the lane around Bogut and hit the winning shot.
